Resist Nothing: Guided Meditations to Heal the Pain-Body

Why do our negative experiences seem to stay with us so persistently? It is because they are the fuel for what Eckhart Tolle calls the pain-body, an energetic field that actually feeds on toxic thoughts and emotions. Liberation from the pain-body is not about repressing or denying our thoughts. Instead, as Eckhart's teaching partner Kim Eng reveals, we must develop a complete receptiveness to all experience-rejecting nothing, judging nothing, and resisting nothing.

Freedom from the World

This series represents an opportunity to participate in a one week retreat with Eckhart and so to go deeper into stillness – becoming one with who you are in the depth of your Being. A certain degree of spiritual maturity, however, is required of anyone wishing to participate fully in this retreat series. What is spiritual maturity? You know the meaning of presence, not as a concept, but as a living reality.

Transcending the Ego

In this talk, given at the Riverside Church in New York, Eckhart addresses some topics of vital importance. He speaks of the burden of the self and how we become trapped in an exclusively personal sense of identity that becomes a virtual prison. He shows that it is the transcendent dimension that offers freedom from the self. What is the transcendent dimension and how do we access it? Eckhart defines it conceptually and, more importantly, shows us how to experience it for ourselves.

Transmuting Suffering into Peace

The purpose of this Intensive is to help you to be present. It’s only when you are present that you can see the conditioned patterns in your own life. Freeing yourself from these conditioned patterns is the fulfillment of your life’s purpose – living from your authentic self.

Living a Life of Inner Peace

Living a Life of Inner Peace is a recording of one of Eckhart's most moving, transformative talks. The talk is relaxed and funny, and he conveys his message through stories and insightful observation. Eckhart makes us laugh at ourselves, while helping us break through habitual thinking to discover the eternal presence of the Now.

The Journey Into Yourself

The theme of this four-day retreat: "It's Always Now" The Now is inseparable from who you are at the deepest level. It is the prerequisite of Being. As you listen to the words on this tape, you participate in the retreat. To "retreat" means to step back - not only from the outer world, but also from the world in your head, the thinking mind. Allow the sound of the words to take you beyond words and beyond sound to the stillness within.

Touching the Eternal: The India Retreat

Through the centuries, countless people from around the world have been coming to India, thirsty in their search for truth. Considered to be the birthplace of spirituality, India has produced more great mystics and spiritual teachers than any other country. What more fitting place for Eckhart to speak of the eternal Now? During this seven-day retreat, Eckhart speaks with humble authenticity, wisdom and humor on a wide range of subjects.

Waking Up brings you the insights of 34 of today's leading authors and teachers who have deeply explored the implications of spiritual awakening. Sounds True publisher Tami Simon will speak with the teachers about their personal understandings of awakening - how it happened, what changed (and what didn't), and how their experiences can inspire and inform our own realizations.

The Illusion of Time

Eckhart Tolle invites us to explore the typical day-to-day state of consciousness for most people, a state of being where we hope that the future will be better, or fear that it will be worse, than what is happening at this moment. Eckhart leads us to the astonishing realization that the future ultimately only exists as "a thought in your head". He also elaborates on the sense of incompleteness we instill in ourselves by identifying with our thoughts, which always concern the past & future, creating unease with the present moment.

Living the Liberated Life and Dealing with the Pain-Body

More spoken wisdom from the best selling author of The Power of Now. Warmly shared, in the authentic voice that has brought him international acclaim, here is Eckhart Tolle's simple and profound gift to us, at a time when our world needs it most.

Practicing the Power of Now: Teachings, Meditations, and Exercises from the Power of Now

Practicing the Power of Now is a carefully arranged series of excerpts from the The Power of Now that directly gives us those exercises and keys.

The Flowering of Human Consciousness: Everyone's Life Purpose

In The Flowering of Human Consciousness, you will come face-to-face with Eckhart Tolle for a transformational meeting with this respected teacher and influential author. In clear language, Eckhart explains the process of entering the "miraculous" state of presence that is always available to us. We are lost, he says, in the maze of our own compulsive thoughts. Only by ceasing this "mental noise" can we dissolve our egos, and enable the "flowering of a new consciousness" to proceed.

A New Earth: Awakening To Your Life's Purpose

Humanity now, perhaps more than in any previous time, has an opportunity to create a new, saner, more loving world. This will involve a radical inner leap from the current egoic consciousness to an entirely new one. In illuminating the nature of this shift in consciousness, Tolle describes in detail how our current ego-based state of consciousness operates. Then gently, and in very practical terms, he leads us into this new consciousness. We will come to experience who we truly are and learn to live and breathe freely.

The Art of Presence

In The Art of Presence, Eckhart guides you through seven hours of transformational insights that allow "presence to naturally arise" in you. With his one-of-a-kind instruction, you will learn how to ground yourself in the vibrancy of your "inner body" while simultaneously breaking free from the illusion of separation from the outside world.

What Is Meditation?

Meditation can be a part of every moment of life. We traditionally view meditation as the form of “doing”. Sitting quietly, dedicating ‘time’ to do the act of mediation. This recording encourages you to let go of the notion that you need to ‘do’ meditation. Allow it to be a part of your every moment. You will receive guidance on how to access a ‘meditative state’ while being able to function through the forms of existence (going to work, parenting, driving).

Practicing Presence: A Guide for the Spiritual Teacher and Health Practitioner

Learn to apply the wisdom teachings of Eckhart Tolle and steer your clients toward true and lasting transformation. At this retreat Eckhart supports and guides the teacher / practitioner to bring the spacious, aware stillness and acceptance of what is into their working modality with individuals and groups.

Finding Your Life's Purpose

By accepting what is, you become bigger than what is. As human beings, we have been conditioned to believe, rather than be. Eckhart Tolle takes us on a journey into our beliefs - the insanity and suffering that arise from them. He helps us see that with surrendering, accepting what IS, we are able to move beyond the struggle to a state of peace and inner aliveness. From that state of alignment with the Now, true solutions for our troubling times arise. The world of form is only one half of reality. Yet we live almost completely there.

Publisher's Summary

Why do our negative experiences seem to stay with us so persistently? It is because they are the fuel for what Eckhart Tolle calls the pain-body, an energetic field that actually feeds on toxic thoughts and emotions. Liberation from the pain-body is not about repressing or denying our thoughts. Instead, as Eckhart's teaching partner Kim Eng reveals, we must develop a complete receptiveness to all experience-rejecting nothing, judging nothing, and resisting nothing.

The fact that resisting nothing is possible. Understanding how we keep adding to the pain body when we resist. The reality that we are a part of the whole, that life is not personal. Remembering that my life situation is not unique.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Resist Nothing?

Kim Eng's meditation practice.

Have you listened to any of Echkart Tolle and Kim Eng ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, it's like going to a fine restaurant that you have been bragging to friend's about then going back another time with those friends and the food is ten times better than the first visit. I cannot explain what is happening to me within in words much like this review but I can say that living aware has healed me.

What insight do you think you’ll apply from Resist Nothing?

Letting go of what was. Accepting what is without resistance. Realizing my experiences from past life experiences make so much sense now. These teachings are not new to me and yet they are and realizing this and remembering the parts of my story of the past truly help me realize GOD IS.

Any additional comments?

I just am truly grateful that what I felt for years was me feeling as if I was losing my mind, really was me losing my mind. I am grateful to know we are loved so much that we are given portals to remind us of it, and that we all have the blessing of being privy.

Just to set the record straight, I reviewed Meditation and Psychotherapy accidently as another book I got, unfortunately it will not allow me to change anything but the stars, Audible said you cannot change it or delete. the book is AWESOME! Tara Brach is Awesome! The book I was rating I returned and was aweful. sorry
